Summary

Saudi authorities said missile strikes by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels killed three Saudi citizens, including a pilot, at Riyadh's international airport on Thursday. The attacks are part of an escalation in fighting between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, which backs Yemen's government, with Houthi forces also striking Saudi oil infrastructure as the broader Middle East conflict widens.
